EDUCATION NEWS – The current trending update as more than 100 Nigerian students on scholarship in the United Kingdom universities could be deported home as early as this week except their fees are settled immediately, according to The Telegraph of London. Fresh update reveals that the students are said to be sponsored by a regional agency and some of them are saddled with debts of up to £20,000. The name of the sponsor agency was not given in the report. The report described the students as “some of the Nigeria’s brightest undergraduates. ”They have been told that they will not receive their degree certification even though many of them completed their courses in the last academic year. The newspaper said some of the affected students claimed they have been warned they could be deported by Friday, October 20.It said the Nigerian High Commission in London confirmed that 152 students had been caught up in the scandal, and that the sponsor agency had been left with a “draught of funding” due to a slump in Nigeria’s oil revenues. The High Commission said in a statement that additional funding had been approved for 87 students. There was no mention of how soon the bill would be paid. The universities of Leeds and Essex said they “sympathised” with the affected students but declined to say whether their visas would be revoked. They said that they were working closely with the Nigerian High Commission to resolve the dispute. The University of Sussex claimed it had allowed one student to graduate, but declined to comment on whether their transcript had been withheld. It added that it had been providing “some financial assistance for living costs in cases of particular hardship.” http://mynationnews.com/2017/10/15/over-unpaid-scholarships-hundreds-of-nigerian-students-face-deportation-in-uk/ 1 Like |

BedLam: Yeah...where do you expect govt to get money to sponsor students from? The skies Between 2014 and 2016 we lost $100billion in potential earnings from oil when oil prices dropped. And you expect govt to suddenly find money for students like that? What with the low amount of money we have now (and the corruption is still there chopping it). THing is...if we want to keep paying foreign scholarships, we must restructure our economy to be a manufacturing dependent economy. We must stop looking for oil to sell. Oil has died , and been buried. 1 Like |
